remember, that's what he did for obama in 2008 and 2012. he was the guy responsible for carrying pennsylvania and did a lot of the heavy lifting in florida. >> why are you so high on biden and he gets such bad press? >> it's easy to caricature him. voters relate to him, they relate to him in a very real way. if he gets to go out there and run, i don't think he'll run if hillary runs. people are going to like what they see. remember when brian williams asked him the question, what are you going to do about the fact that people think you talk too much. are you going to prove they're wrong? and he said yes, and just stopped. this guy is a superb campaigner. >> what do you think of biden? is he getting a bad rap? >> i think joe biden is the most likeable part of this administration. he's one of these nice guys. good storyteller. he's almost wrong on everything he comes out for. >> that's not true. >> well, for example breaking up iraq into three-pieces. the-pie. >> not killing osama bin laden. he's almost wrong. >> the anti-terrorism campaign.
